What is incredible about this season of "Chinese Restaurant" is that the clip of Zhao Liying cooking vegetables was dug out by the audience. When dining with others, it does seem impolite to use chopsticks to pick up vegetables, but this time Zhao Liying was really misunderstood. It’s time to clarify for Zhao Liying!
Many people only focused on Zhao Liying’s chopsticks, but ignored what dish Zhao Liying was picking up with her chopsticks. If you watch the show carefully, you will find that the dish Zhao Liying pulled is actually a seafood dish cooked by Lin Shuwei.
Maocai is a famous practice in Sichuan and Chongqing. As the saying goes: "Everything can be cooked." Generally, Maocai in restaurants is cooked directly with seasoning soup, and then put into a large bowl and sprinkled with a layer of chopped green onion and coriander.
In the show, chef Lin Shuwei combined boiled pork slices into this seafood dish. In the last step, a layer of hot red pepper oil was poured on the surface to make the taste even better. Delicate and tender.
Before eating Maocai in Sichuan and Chongqing areas, people usually use chopsticks to pull the vegetables back and forth. Because there is a lot of sauce in the Maocai, and there are condiments on the surface that have not been dissolved into the sauce, so use chopsticks to Pulling the dish back and forth is actually a necessary step in eating this dish.
Of course, I believe that many northerners have never eaten maocai, so they think Zhao Liying's action of picking up vegetables is impolite.
In order to prove that what Zhao Liying cooked was indeed this dish, you only need to look at the model of the bowl to know.
On the other hand, because the vegetables in Maocai are all soaked in the sauce, you have to use chopsticks to turn them to find the dish you want to eat, so there is no impolite behavior at all. Just like you have to get started when eating crayfish. Chinese food culture is diverse and inclusive. This program is "Chinese Restaurant", not a "Western Restaurant" that pursues dining etiquette. I believe there will be no audience. If you go to a Chinese restaurant to dine, you will order a glass of 1982 Lafite as soon as you sit down.
Even Zhang Liang, a person at the time, explained that the vegetables they cut were relatively small at first, so it was more laborious to pick them up with chopsticks.
In fact, Zhao Liying will be questioned by the audience this time, mainly because of the editing footage of the show, which shows a side shot of Zhao Liying while eating, but does not capture the seafood dish being pulled with chopsticks. Of course, the program team may have deliberately created a topic for editing like this.
It is not difficult to find that in addition to the hot search term "Zhao Liying chopsticks", even the fact that Zhao Liying has less work has caused quite a controversy.
At the end of the second feature film, the program team deliberately cut a long scene of Huang Xiaoming and Li Haofei washing dishes, while the scene of Zhao Liying washing cups at the bar only flashed by.
In fact, many scenes of Zhao Liying working were edited into the Plus version of the video. Therefore, many people commented that Zhao Liying did less work without watching the membership version.
Judging from the Reuters photos sent by fans, Zhao Liying was cleaning the bar for a long time alone. Huang Xiaoming and Li Haofei were indeed tired from washing the dishes, but Zhao Liying was responsible for all the cups and tables by herself. Clean. In such a program that can make people "skin off", no one can be immune to it. There is only the difference between being exhausted and getting even more exhausted.
I am here to clarify for Zhao Liying because she should not be blackmailed, and this is an unfounded and completely untenable basis. I urge netizens to be kind. It is not easy to produce a Zhao Liying in the Chinese film and television industry.
